Cowboys Create Marshawn Kneeland Memorial Fund After Coach Confirms Girlfriend’s Pregnancy

The fund is intended to support Catalina Mancera and her unborn child.

Overview

  • Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said the team has launched the Marshawn Kneeland Memorial Fund after confirming Catalina Mancera is pregnant.
  • Surveillance footage reported by ESPN shows Kneeland’s car speeding on the Dallas North Tollway, making a U-turn, crashing near team headquarters, and him fleeing on foot before he was later found dead.
  • Recorded dispatch audio indicates the Cowboys’ security director sought a welfare check after “goodbye” group texts that referenced not being able to go to prison or jail, and police were told Kneeland was armed and had a history of mental illness.
  • The Cowboys will honor Kneeland with helmet decals for the rest of the season, special warm-up shirts for the next two games, and a moment of silence with a video tribute before the Nov. 23 home game against the Eagles.
  • Authorities describe the death as an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound as reviews and the medical examiner’s formal determination continue, while Dallas returns to practice before Monday’s game at the Raiders and expands counseling support.
